We need to just stop pretending we can reliably tell if plain text is written by an LLM.
It’s just not a reasonable ask.
True, but what you can do is a one-sided guarantee. If it bears the mark, it is likely generated (or someone deliberately made it look generated).
Thus, if a news article, research article, book, student paper submission, blog post, HN comment, etc, bears the mark, it could be automatically flagged as such.
It helps detect low effort slop.

Caveat. If you write your own creative work and send it to Claude for "cleaning up grammar", it might insert the watermark.
